- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
The pipes compiler produced data types that encoded efficient and safe
bounded message passing protocols between two endpoints. It was also
capable of producing unbounded protocols.
It was useful research but was arguably done before its proper time.
I am removing it for the following reasons:
* In practice we used it only for producing the `oneshot` protcol and
the unbounded `stream` protocol and all communication in Rust use those.
* The interface between the proto! macro and the standard library
has a large surface area and was difficult to maintain through
language and library changes.
* It is now written in an old dialect of Rust and generates code
which would likely be considered non-idiomatic.
* Both the compiler and the runtime are difficult to understand,
and likewise the relationship between the generated code and
the library is hard to understand. Debugging is difficult.
* The new scheduler implements `stream` and `oneshot` by hand
in a way that will be significantly easier to maintain.
This shouldn't be taken as an indication that 'channel protocols'
for Rust are not worth pursuing again in the future.
Concerned parties may include: @graydon, @pcwalton, @eholk, @bblum
The most likely candidates for closing are #7666, #3018, #3020, #7021, #7667, #7303, #3658, #3295.

Change the former repetition::
for 5.times { }
to::
do 5.times { }
.times() cannot be broken with `break` or `return` anymore; for those
cases, use a numerical range loop instead.
Assertions without a message get a generated message that consists of a
prefix plus the stringified expression that is being asserted. That
prefix is currently a unique string, while a static string would be
sufficient and needs less code.

Renamed bytes_iter to byte_iter to match other iterators
Refactored str Iterators to use DoubleEnded Iterators and typedefs instead of wrapper structs
Reordered the Iterator section
Whitespace fixup
Moved clunky `each_split_within` function to the one place in the tree where it's actually needed
Replaced all block doccomments in str with line doccomments
Contiunation of naming cleanup in `libsyntax::ast`:
```rust
ast::node_id => ast::NodeId
ast::local_crate => ast::LOCAL_CRATE
ast::crate_node_id => ast::CRATE_NODE_ID
ast::blk_check_mode => ast::BlockCheckMode
ast::ty_field => ast::TypeField
ast::ty_method => ast::TypeMethod
```
Also moved span field directly into `TypeField` struct and cleaned up overlooked `ast::CrateConfig` renamings from last pull request.
Cheers,
Michael
